This baby toy from Vulli would be a great gift for that green rug rat in your life, especially if they are teething. Sophie the Giraffe, as she has been known since 1961, is produced manually in France with 100% natural rubber derived from the hevea tree. Our 10-month-old girl definitely found it soothing, and was excited when it would squeak from time to time. You can definitely tell the rubber is natural, as it has a soft, almost moist feel to it. As an added bonus, it came in sustainable packaging. Green-wise, the only problem I see here is that it is imported all the way from France.

If you’re interested, head over to DwellSmart (map) or purchase online.

Note: For the next couple weeks, we will be reviewing products that would make good gifts for the greenie in your life. Our friend Mary Gatch, owner of DwellSmart and local green goddess, provided this product free of charge to our family for review on this website.

    What a great post! I wanted to let everyone know that if you would like to buy a Sophie Giraffe for your little one, they can be bought locally at From Here To Maternity, at 1055 Johnnie Dodds Boulevard in Mount Pleasant. It’s next to Five Loaves, and the place has it all. It’s the best boutique around for maternity needs and baby needs, plus you can reduce your carbon footprint by not getting it shipped!
